Feb 22, 2014

ASHLAND, Va. – Coming off a 6-3 defeat at the hands of nationally-ranked Tusculum, the King University men's tennis team earned its first win of the spring portion of the schedule. The Tornado defeated Randolph-Macon College 9-0 on Saturday before a Sunday match at fellow conference member University of Mount Olive.

The closest match for the Tornado came at No. 6 singles as King's William Boyce battled with Tom Lewis. Boyce won the first set 6-3 before Lewis battled back to take the second by the same score. Boyce took the super tiebreaker 10-7 to secure the victory, his first of the spring season.

Moritz Poswiat also notched a pair of wins for King, defeating Stuart McCroskey 6-3, 6-1 at No. 5 singles and teaming up with Seth Carelli for an 8-5 win at No. 3 doubles.

The win was King's first in two tries in the spring portion of the schedule and brings the Tornado's record to 2-3 overall in the 2013-14 season. King will travel to Mount Olive, N.C. to face the University of Mount Olive Trojans in its first Conference Carolinas match of the season. First serve is scheduled for 1:00 p.m.
